Some passwords not remembered
Since the latest upgrade (to 3.6.15) Firefox forgets most, but not all of my stored passwords, on closing the session. I have checked that the option to remember passwords is selected under Options

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
- Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
- Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
- In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
- Do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.
"do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?"
Yes. For instance I have had to log into this site (yet again today) to reply you.
